7 Shocking Ways WWE Tricked  Fans Into Rooting For Roman Reigns This Week

#3 Keeping Roman Reigns silent

Was anyone else surprised that they kept Roman Reigns silent on Monday Night Raw this week?

WWE finally did it!

Instead of bringing Roman Reigns out to cut a promo on his opponent for Hell in a Cell, WWE actually did the unthinkable and had Reigns stay silent throughout the entire opening segment. Interestingly enough, this is the first time WWE has done this in quite a while and could be a sign that they are transitioning him back to his role as the silent type.

Not only does that allow Reigns to go back to being the silent muscle of The Shield that kept him popular for so long, it also shifts the focus away from Reigns and onto the group as a whole, which will help Reigns in the long run. In fact, it might even give WWE a second chance at booking Reigns how they should have the first time.
